WHEN I’M GOOD AND GONE

Verse:
             D                 A
I hope they find my King James Bible
G                          D                     A
Worn around the edges and opened to the Book of John
                 D               A
And my favorite picture we made together
              G                       A
Down by Mill Creek when we were just twenty-one

Verse:
             G                       A
I hope it’s layin’ by your old love letters
               D
The ones that read just like a song
            Em                  A
I hope they find more good than bad
                   D
When I’m good and gone

Verse:
           D                       A
I hope our children will make good neighbors
                 G                    D   A
The kind you can count on when you’re down
                   D                    A
And I hope they’ll teach their sons and daughters
             G                        A
The things I taught ‘em when I’m not around

Verse:
            G                     A      D
I hope the sun shines the day they lay me
     G 
And there’s lots of flowers and that line of friends is long
             Em                   A
‘Cause they found more good than bad
                    D
When I’m good and gone

Verse:
        Em                           A
I ain’t leavin’ here today as far as I can see
        Bm              A                G
I got a list of things I plan on gettin’ to
        Em                                    A
Oh, but how and when I leave this world ain’t up to me
     Bm                    A               G
Oh, Lord You’ll make that call and when You do

Verse:
           Em                  A
I hope You find more good than bad
                  Bm G
When I’m good and gone
           Em                  A
I hope You find more good than bad
                D                    A
And I hope they find my King James Bible
                 G                               D
Worn around the edges and opened to the Book of John
